Lots (and lots) of people fly in Australia without holding a licence issued by CASA, in and out of places at which ASICs are not required.
sorry, my bad. I was referring to Australian commercial pilots, I should have been more specific.
I’m fairly sure commercial pilots need an ASIC, it says so on the Asic website
